I said it would be “viewed as” a great success. I think it is a dumbass move that hurts pretty much everyone. But the US still does pointless drone strikes all over the Mideast because it is popular with a certain set of people who think it works.

This will be viewed as a success because they sent black ops people in there and extracted a dude and probably not many Americans died. I’m sure Hollywood will have a field day making zero dark thirty bullshit about it for “patriots” to beat off to.
